    hey guys, so I just read the hardcover deluxe edition of the black glove and the softcover of RIP. I was wonder what book comes next as it doesn't really say which book the story continues in.

    - I personally hate Grant Morrison with a passion however, i will say that i think R.I.P. was a pretty good story aside from it being incredibly convoluted(like most of Morrison's work), and a couple other things.

    reading at least once

    * - an understanding of Final Crisis and the tie-ins to that would certainly help, and some people

    would argue are relevant, but I only wanted to include Batman and Batfamily stuff on this list
